Russian HMG and More Camouflage

Despite promising myself I’d go to bed earlier I was feeling like I wanted to just finish up a few things…

(Remember: click on the pictures for a bigger version)

This is a Russian HMG team I picked up off ebay a week or so ago. They are from First Corps. They are a tad on the hefty side – but I’m not the fussy sort. When I’ve got a entire company of Russians on the table who’s going to notice if one or two look a little “well fed”.

After staring at Paul’s Panzer-Grenadiers some more… and then staring at more examples online… I decided to have another go at some early war SS camouflage.

This is another one of those mystery figures I picked up off of ebay. They were listed as “West Wind?”, but they don’t look all that West Wind-ish to me… I was going to guess Battle Honors – but looking through their catalogue they don’t quite match… (last time I guess Battle Honours I was dead wrong too…) Any guesses out there from cyberland…?

Huh. found them. Owned by Stronghold miniatures. What a horrific site to navigate.... Then, when I FINALLY clicked on Battle Group Panzer Grenadiers (hoping I might find pictures that would solve the mystery...)... i got a 404 error... Urrrrr!
